Question

Your drawer contains 6 black socks and 8 white socks you randomly choose 2 socks without putting any back. What is the probability that both socks are black

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, you have to find the total number of socks. The total is 14. Now, since you choose 2 socks out of 14 in total, the probability is 2/14 or about 14%. To find the percent, just divide the numerator by the denominator. The answer you get is in decimal form. Multiply the decimal by 100. Then, there is your percent.
